Takeuchi Manufacturing

Takeuchi's new 156,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Moore, South Carolina, has begun production of compact track loaders. The facility will eventually produce nearly all of the company's compact track loaders and employ around 150 people.

Takeuchi Manufacturing (U.S.) purchased an existing 156,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and office building in Moore, South Carolina, for $34.4 million. The facility will produce compact track loaders, creating around 100 jobs, with a start date expected before the end of 2022.

Takeuchi Manufacturing acquired a plant in South Carolina from Kobelco Construction Machinery for 3.9 billion yen ($39 million). The plant will produce crawler loaders for the US market, with production expected to start in 2022.

Takeuchi Manufacturing will build a new plant in Aoki Village, Nagano Prefecture, to produce medium-to-large hydraulic excavators. The plant is expected to start operations in fiscal year 2023, with an investment of about 800 million yen.
